Miesha Tate Helps Injured 6-Year-Old Down Mountain Hiking Trail

Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate probably didn't expect to become a hero to a six-year-old girl and her family over Labor Day weekend, but that is exactly what happened.

According to Andreas Hale of Yahoo Sports, Tate was hiking at Mount Charleston near Las Vegas when she encountered Kai. Kai had broken her arm on the trail, and Hale noted, "Tate spotted Kai's mother struggling to carry the little girl down the 2.6-mile trail and decided to help out."

Tate helped carry her down the rest of the mountain, where her family could seek medical attention. Kai's father posted an image from the encounter on Instagram and thanked Tate for saving his family "easily hours of hiking" so they could get Kai to a hospital:

Tate also wrote about it on her Facebook page and said she was inspired by Kai as they "agreed we would both be strong for each other":

The UFC fighter also shared a thank you message from Kai on Instagram:

Tate will surely have some new fans next time she steps inside the Octagon.
